So how about that HP touchpad? I work for Best Buy and when we unleashed those suckers for $100 it was like Black Friday. I hate greedy ignorant customers! I wanted one to hack and install Android on one but nooo people bought like 3-5 a piece. Oh well =/. Just seeing what others thought about this.

    I'm quite pissed at the price drop...I picked a 32gb brand new up off eBay about a month ago...thought I was getting a deal by saving about $100 off retail ($549.99 at the time) and now it's $150...sigh...

    It's a good tablet for the money. I would take the Galaxy or Xoom over it, but for 1/3-1/2 the price how can you go wrong!...I also worked for BBY up until last June, store 317 if I remember correctly

    Wow, very small world. Amazing how much West Fargo has grown and then the expansion into South Fargo. How old is your brother at UND?

    WebOS is not bad software actually...HP just uses shitty hardware. No wonder MS is hiring all the WebOS developers.

    Sorry to hear that you u hate Apple products so much, I'm not a fanboi or anything, but Ipad is best on the market when it comes to tablets. As for "business" software, there isn't anything I can't do with it I can't do on my laptop, even manage my VMware servers. Only thing about other tablets is most of the time (if it's not android) you are severely limited in the apps they make for the device. You might hate Apple products, but when it comes down to it when a developer makes an app, they are gonna make it first for the Ipad...then droid. Hit or miss on anything else (WebOS for example).

    just bought myself one! can't wait to try er out.. i was going to buy a kindle for all my college books this year but even the shittiest kindle cant be had for $100 so i figured might as well just go with a tablet and download all my ebooks on that! atleast i most likely wont have to haul my alienware laptop back and forth to school now and risk breaking it or it being stolen! pretty pumped!
